In utero names and what's up with the J's?

My brother-in-law was also called "Cletus the Fetus". Hmmm...

We called my first daughter Missy before she was born, sure she was 
a girl, but she is now Melissa to all but a couple of friends.

She in turn called her unborn sister Benina (without knowing she was 
a sister), although we have no idea why. She even told a grocery 
store clerk that was her baby sister's name. I saw no need to 
correct her ;o).

My second daughter decided to call my third daughter after a street 
near us... Dudley! Poor thing... We haven't told her yet, but since 
she listens to the books carefully as we read to her sister, it's 
sure to come out some day.

A moms' group I belong to had a Jen and two Jenny's among its 
members, and now Jen is on the steering team with Jena, Jeana, 
Jeralyn and Jeannette!

who couldn't remember, Jill!)
